This book should serve to attract the attention of young people
interested in the natural sciences and could be used by teachers to disseminate
nuclear knowledge to the young generation. It is hoped that more compilations of
this kind from other nuclear areas will follow to enhance public awareness of
the many beneficial contributions of nuclear techniques. Topics covered
includes: Cosmochemistry, Methods And Method Validation, Environmental
Applications, Medical Applications, Industrial Applications, Non-destructive
Testing, And Analysis of Art Objects, Forensic Applications, Archaeological
Investigations.
Nuclear and Radiochemistry is specialised branch of
chemistry that helps to shape the orientation of chemist and analyst to be able
to qualitatively and quantitatively analyse radiation from radioactive
samples.The study units in this course are as follow : Natural Radioactivity,
Radioactive Decay Processes and Nature of Radioactivity, Nuclear Models,
Energetic of Nuclear Radiation, Principle and Measurement of Radioactivity,
Application of Radioactivity, Radiation Hazards.

This note provides an
introduction to the basic properties of ionizing radiations and their uses in
medicine, industry, science, and environmental studies. Also discusses natural
and man-made radiation sources, energy deposition and dose calculations, and
various physical, chemical, and biological processes and effects of radiation,
with examples of their uses, and principles of radiation protection.
The study of radiation
effects has developed as a major field of materials science from the beginning,
approximately 70 years ago. Its rapid development has been driven by two strong
influences. The properties of the crystal defects and the materials containing
them may then be studied. The book is distributed in four sections: Ionic
Materials; Biomaterials; Polymeric Materials and Metallic Materials.
This note covers the following topics:
introduction, types of radiation, radiation safety, nuclear reactions half life,
nuclear fission and fusion, nuclear stability and binding energy.
This note covers the following topics: Liquid-Liquid Extraction
Equipment, Non Aqueous Processes, Complexation Chemistry and Precipitation /
Crystallization Processes, Modeling and Simulation of Nuclear Fuel Recycling
Systems, Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Its Chemistry, Mining, Milling, Conversion, and
Enrichment of Uranium Ores, Reactors, Fuels.
